I am very excited to share all my makeup/Beauty tips and tricks with you. For those of you who do not know me, my name is Finn Mauritzen, I am a certified makeup artist in the Northern VA/DC area. My work in the health and beauty industry has taken me all over the globe during the past 14 years. After graduating from a Holistic and Physical Therapies program back home in Ireland, I set off to work on-board Royal Caribbean cruise lines, where I was a spa therapist. To say I was frighten and had no idea what I was doing is an understatement, but in looking back at all the wonderful friends I made (including my wonderful husband) and all the amazing places I got to visit it was the best thing I ever did. After cruise ships I landed here in Virginia America, where I continued my work experience in the healthy and beauty industry. During the past 10 years here, I managed two beauty stores and also acted as an operational manager for a medspa in the Springfield area.

I recently returned to the healthy and beauty industry by starting my own freelance makeup business, Blush Away Makeup Studio. I work with wedding parties, engagements, commercial & editorial projects, proms and any event where someone is looking for that natural flawless look for a special event.

I am so excited to start my blog, where I get to share all my makeup and health/beauty tips with you from my years of experience in the industry. Here is a list of topics I will be discussing, so if you are interested stay tuned, also if you have any topics that you want me to discuss please let me know and I would be happy to do so.
